Our company endorses April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day to share dreams. This press release is the dream of "Tamiya Home Co., Ltd."

【April Dream】
〜 Kaitai (demolition) brightens the future 〜
Tamiya Home Co., Ltd.'s dream is to transform over 9 million vacant houses nationwide from "someone's problem" into "the future of the region," increasing the number of communities overflowing with smiles for children who will lead the future.
And to refresh the image of the demolition industry itself, continuously embodying "Kaitai brightens the future" across Japan.
Tamiya Home Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture, Representative Director and President: Akihiko Tamiya) is working to solve the social issue of vacant houses through its demolition, real estate solutions, and renovation businesses.
Our dream is to transform over 9 million vacant houses nationwide from "someone's problem" into "the future of the region." And to create the future through "kaitai" and realize a society where children can live with peace of mind. "Kaitai brightens the future" — we will not stop our efforts until this slogan is known to more people and the social image of "kaitai" changes.
■ Background to realizing the dream
In Japan, the number of vacant houses now exceeds 9 million, continuously setting new records (Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, 2023 Housing and Land Survey). This number increases by 510,000 every five years, and as long as the declining birthrate and aging population continue, this number will keep rising.
Neglected vacant houses can be called 'negative assets' that spoil the landscape, pose crime and disaster risks, and diminish the vitality of the community. This is not "someone's house problem" but a structural issue that society as a whole must address.

On the other hand, the demolition industry has a persistent negative image.
"Scary," "destructive," "don't want to get close"
—However, we are convinced that demolition work is not like that.
"Kaitai" (demolishing) vacant houses leads to crime prevention and disaster prevention.
Removing dilapidated buildings creates a town where children can walk safely.
And by carrying out demolition work, the land is reborn as a 'positive asset,' and a new life begins.
That's why we write "kaitai" in hiragana instead of "解体" (kaitai, demolition).
We put our will to demolish (kaitai) conventional images and open up a new future into this word.
■ Current initiatives towards realizing the dream
We at Tamiya Home have been confronting this reality head-on for five years since 2020. It is precisely because we are a company that has handled over 2,000 demolition projects annually and has stood by our customers that we speak of this dream.
And by unraveling the "don't know," "can't decide," and "in trouble" that precede "kaitai," we are also working to prevent future vacant houses by creating a system where people can consult us before their houses become vacant.
【Initiative ①】
Kaitai Consulting Sales
We have established a new style that moves away from the traditional demolition industry model where site supervisors double as sales personnel. Instead, dedicated sales professionals act as "demolition work concierges" and "demolition work planners," carefully alleviating customer anxieties as the project progresses. We provide consistent support from neighborhood liaison to procedures and site management. We have created a system where those who are "anxious about relying on a demolition company" can take the first step with peace of mind.

Furthermore, with the addition of our real estate solutions and renovation businesses, we have established a "Kaitai Consulting" style that offers one-stop proposals for land utilization, sale, and inheritance arrangements before demolition (even before deciding to demolish).
【Initiative ②】
Vacant House Revitalization and Renovation Business
Our renovation business, which offers a third option of "revitalization" in addition to "demolish or keep," will fully launch in 2025. By handling everything from demolition to renovation, we breathe new life into vacant houses in the region and protect the local landscape and safety.

【Initiative ③】
Athlete Recruitment and D&I Promotion
We actively promote recruitment that leverages the "challenging spirit," "perseverance," and "teamwork" of current and former athletes. We have created a system where even inexperienced individuals can feel personal growth and achieve results through our business, leading to an energetic organization. This is the source of our on-site strength.
We are also engaged in D&I promotion beyond the industry framework, such as conducting SOGI study sessions and producing "Deaf-Friendly site sheets."

【Initiative ④】Social Contribution Activities
Tamiya Home informs its employees that "a portion of sales will be used for social contribution," building a system where the company's growth leads to social benefits and boosting employee motivation.
We continuously contribute to society through donations to disaster-stricken areas during disasters, regular provision of rice to children's cafeterias, and carbon offsetting through the ownership of over 30 hectares of forest (Tamiya Forest Symphony).

■ Future Dreams
We aim for sales of 10 billion yen in 2027 and 10,000 demolition projects annually and sales of 50 billion yen in 2035.
However, these numbers are merely milestones.
How many vacant houses have been transformed into smiles for the community?
How many colleagues are working with pride?
How many towns where children can walk safely have increased?
The accumulation of these is Tamiya Home's true goal.
"Kaitai brightens the future" — a society where this slogan is known to more people and the social image of "kaitai" changes is what we aim for.
Tamiya Home declares three dreams
◆Dream ① Transform vacant house problems into regional treasures
We will not leave the 9 million vacant houses across Japan as negative legacies. We will offer one-stop proposals for demolition, revitalization, real estate utilization, and renovation, transforming "problematic vacant houses" into "regional assets." By 2035, we aim to achieve 10,000 demolition projects annually and stand at the forefront of solving the nationwide vacant house problem.
◆Dream ② Change the image of the demolition industry across Japan
"Scary," "noisy," "destructive" — we will change such images of the demolition industry. Through careful neighborhood liaison, customer support by expert concierges, and a new style called "Kaitai Consulting," we will make demolition work recognized by society as "reliable, future-connecting work."
◆Dream ③ All colleagues work with pride
Former athletes, parents raising children, LGBTQ+ individuals, people with disabilities — we will create a workplace where diverse personalities and strengths can thrive. At Tamiya Home, where "earning and being useful to society" are compatible, we will create a future where every colleague can say, "I'm glad I did this job."

■ Message from Representative Director and President Akihiko Tamiya
I became the Representative Director and President of Tamiya Home in 2020, right in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. I took over a company that was worth several hundred million yen, and it was a start in a situation where no one could see what lay ahead. However, even in that adversity, I never wavered from investing in "people" and confronting social issues. I am convinced that this laid the foundation for today's strong organization.
Thanks to this, our sales growth rate from 2021 to 2024 was 224% (from 949 million yen to 3.076 billion yen).
In March 2026, we were selected as No. 1 in the Japanese construction sector in the Asia-Pacific High-Growth Companies ranking by the British economic newspaper 'Financial Times'. However, this is merely a milestone.
Tamiya Home's vision is "playing a rainbow." Just as diverse colors maintain their individuality while forming a single harmony in a rainbow, each employee exerts their strength, and that harmony creates "plus one value" for customers and the local community. I want to create such a company. — I believe that a place where diverse colleagues can work with pride is the source of Tamiya Home's strength.
It is possible for a company to generate profits and for individuals to earn a good income, while also being useful to society. Steadily accumulating each demolition project creates a social cycle. Social contribution is not something to do when you have spare capacity; it is inherent in the business itself. That is the kind of company we want to be.
